Honestly I can't stand girls/women who go out of their way to make it known they are female when playing games online.

They are almost as bad as the guys who go crazy over them as if the game is for picking up a date.

Oh really? So a woman who says she's a woman is doing what exactly that men don't do when they say they're men?I've seen guys call women "attention whores" (elsewhere, not here) for saying we're women in the first place, but a guy who's mistaken for a woman seems to have no qualms about saying "No, I'm a man" and that's okay?

And when men (as in this thread) think it's funny to recycle jokes that are well over a decade old about how there are really no women on the internet, is it really surprising that women who are on the internet say, "No, really, I'm on the internet."

And of course, so many men just assume everyone they see is a man (check my karma - most of the guys who give me karma refer to me with male pronouns), but it's somehow wrong for a woman to say "no, I'm a woman?" Why is it okay to visibly be a man, but to visibly be a woman is "going out of their way?"

No, theres no problem with clarifying mistakes or answering if asked. The objectionable ones are the ones that go out of their way to announce themselves, obviously expecting to be given special treatment and attention because of their gender.
